Original hutspot is made using parsnip instead of potatoes. Potatoes are easier to mash into a pulp but parsnips taste somewhat sweeter, so it's up to you which veggie to use.

It's customary to also fry tiny chunks of bacon (lardons?) and add them to the mix; tastes better than when you simply add salt, and the fat makes the hutspot nice and greasy as it should be since it is winter food. You can also toss in stuff like raisins, pickled onions, diced gherkins or pineapple chunks. Serve with rookworst ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rookworst - you should be able to get it in the UK) or meatballs/bratwurst/regular grilled sausages.

Good news! I went to see my oncologist last week and there’s no evidence of cancer in my body. I’m now on a maintenance schedule and only see her every three months instead of every other week. Now I’ve got to work on getting my strength back and figure what kind of work I want to do.
